Tidal isn't the most popular music streaming service, but it offers things that are not available on other platforms. The most popular lure for most users is its high-quality audio.

If you're a Tidal user on Android, the company is preparing to roll out its Early Access Program.

Music streaming services have been busy at work lately. Spotify started allowing users to block others last week, while Apple Music now lets you search inside playlists if you're on iOS 15.2 beta 3. Today TIDAL announced some new changes coming to US-based users. Most notably, the company has launched a free tier with access to the entire catalog of 80 million+ songs. Artists will also be earning more revenue, thanks to direct artist payouts and fan-centered royalties. Users in the region will now have three different plans to choose from. Each of the plans comes with its own perks that match its price tag.
